Seeing that Ye Ying did not respond to his question, and his eyes were moist again, as if he was about to cry, Mu Yu sighed inaudibly.
It’s not like Mu Yu hasn’t come into contact with children before, but he has never dealt with someone like Ye Ying.
As they come from a family of military generals, the children of her brothers are all little bullies in the family. They have been influenced by the idea of shed blood but not tears since childhood. They are tough and courageous, but they are tough and playful.
She didn't have to worry too much, they would pamper her aunt. Even the three-year-old daughter of her fifth brother, Zisu, would hold a wooden spear and shout that she wanted to be a female general to protect her aunt.
Thinking of his family in the Tiansheng Dynasty, Mu Yu's eyes flashed with loss, grief, and longing.
However, the current way of getting along with nephews and nieces is obviously not suitable for Ye Ying, a kind, timid, stubborn and pretending-to-be-strong girl.
She rubbed Ye Ying's head and smiled gently: "It's okay, I like being called sister by Yingzi."
"Sister Mu..." Ye Yingcai covered her mouth after she shouted. She widened her eyes and looked at Mu Yu in disbelief.
Mu Yu took away Ye Ying's dirty little hand that was covering her mouth, and carefully took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Mu Yu stared at Ye Ying's timid eyes, his voice gentle and reassuring: "I am very happy that I have a brave sister like Yingzi, so Yingzi should not cry, be cheerful, Yingzi looks best when she smiles."
Wow.
Ye Ying cried, but it wasn't the kind of heart-wrenching cry. Instead, she whimpered like a kitten that had just spoken. Her voice was soft and low, yet it clenched one's heart, making one feel sorry for this little girl.
She didn't want to, but she couldn't help it.
Ever since her father passed away and her mother ran off with someone else, no one except her grandfather has ever praised her or said she was brave. They all said she was a dumb coward.
No one has ever told her that she looks good when she smiles.
Mu Yu looked at Ye Ying who suddenly burst into tears, and she was a little flustered. Her eyes were a little confused. Why did she cry even harder when she was comforting and praising her?
She was trying hard not to cry just now, but now she burst into tears.
Is she scary?
The depressed Mu Yu carried Ye Yingshun on his back to prevent her from crying, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Ying's eyes with a handkerchief.
When Mu Yu patted Ye Ying's thin back, Ye Ying's body stiffened. She sniffed and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Sister Mu said that she looked better when she smiled, and she didn’t want to cry, she wanted to smile.
Ye Ying tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth and forced out a big smile with all his strength.
Her eyes were sparkling from crying, like a piece of obsidian, very beautiful.
Ye Ying stared at Mu Yu in a daze, his eyes revealing the expectation of being praised and the cautious flattery.
This scene made Mu Yu's nose ache.
This child is so pitiful!
In fact, such a smile was very stiff and not pretty, but Mu Yu thought it was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen.
Mu Yu did not disappoint Ye Ying. Facing her expectant eyes, she praised her generously, "Yingzi's smile is like the sun in the sky. It's so beautiful and warm."
Hearing Mu Yu's praise, Ye Ying's eyes brightened up, and her little face became red with happiness, like a peach. Mu Yu couldn't help but poke her with his hand.
Very soft and chewy.
Facing Ye Ying's open-mouthed look of shock, Mu Yu felt a little embarrassed. She took out a White Rabbit milk candy as if covering up, quickly peeled off the skin, and stuffed it into Ye Ying's mouth.
Smelling the sweet milky aroma, Ye Ying licked it subconsciously, but soon realized that it was White Rabbit milk candy. She became a little anxious and the corners of her eyes began to turn red again.
She didn't help Sister Mu with the work, so how could she ask for Sister Mu's candy?
Will Sister Mu think she is a bad girl and stop liking her?
Ye Ying was anxious to spit out the candy and return it to Mu Yu, but then she suddenly remembered that people in the city liked cleanliness and would definitely not want the candy that she had licked.
Mu Yu saw that Ye Ying's face had turned even redder, and the whole person seemed to be holding his breath, with a tense face. She mistakenly thought that she fed him too suddenly and Ye Ying choked, and she instantly blamed herself.
Before she could pick up Ye Ying and put her on her lap, pat her back and make her spit out the White Rabbit candy, she saw Ye Ying suddenly move closer to her, and then, as she watched, she searched through all her pockets and took out a few penny bills. She wanted to secretly put them into Mu Yu's arms when the other children weren't seeing, but she stopped when she glanced at her own black hands.
"Sister Mu, this is the candy money." Ye Ying paused and said, "Sister Mu, I know this is not enough, but I will pay you back later. So, Sister Mu, please don't hate Yingzi, okay? The White Rabbit is so fragrant that Yingzi couldn't help but lick it a little."
Mu Yu's heart softened. How could there be such a sensible child? !
She pushed back Ye Ying's outstretched hand and said, "This White Rabbit candy is a reward for Yingzi. It's a reward for being a brave and good child."
"Really?" Ye Ying looked at Mu Yu with blinking eyes.
"Of course, our Yingzi is great."
"whee."
After hearing what Mu Yu said, Ye Ying was completely relieved. She stretched out her tongue and slowly tasted the White Rabbit milk candy. She didn't dare to chew it, so she just slurped it bit by bit, as if this would make her eat it longer.
After talking to Ye Ying for a while, Mu Yu got up and left.
Before leaving, Mu Yu touched the handful of White Rabbit milk candies in her pocket, and after thinking about it, she decided not to give them away. Ye Ying was too timid, and she was really afraid that after she gave the candies to Ye Ying, the children who had been eavesdropping on the situation here would snatch them away.
Forget it, I’ll find time to give it to Ye Ying secretly later!
But Mu Yu didn't expect that even after she left, Ye Ying was still targeted by other children.
"Hand it over."
Ye Ying took two steps back.
"I saw that you have money." The leader Ye Qing waved his big fist and threatened Ye Ying.
Ye Ying thought of his grandfather at home and did not resist. He handed over all the few cents in his pocket.
At this time, a little boy next to Ye Qing said, "Brother Qing, she still has White Rabbit candy in her hand."
Ye Ying's face turned pale and he clenched his hands even tighter.
This cannot be given to her. This was given to her by her sister Mu, and she wants to take it back for her grandfather to eat.
Yes, just after Mu Yu left, Ye Ying seemed to have thought of something. She reluctantly spat out the White Rabbit milk candy that she had taken two bites of, and wrapped it up in the candy wrapper that she had picked up and blew clean. She couldn't finish it herself, she had to give it to her grandfather.
Ye Qing's eyes lit up: "Hand it over."
Ye Ying shook her head and bravely resisted: "No, I can't give it to you."
Ye Qing has five older sisters and is the only spoiled child in the family. He has a very overbearing temper. When he heard that Ye Ying, an orphan, dared to refuse him, he immediately got angry and grabbed Ye Ying's arm, preparing to rob her.
He tried to snatch it away, but Ye Ying still refused to give it to him. During the struggle, Ye Ying pushed Ye Qing hard, causing him to stagger. Ye Qing became angry and called on his children to help him and beat Ye Ying up. But even so, Ye Ying still clenched his fists tightly and refused to let go.
However, her strength was totally useless in front of several boys who were a few years older than her. Not only was she beaten black and blue, but her candy was also snatched away from her.
Ye Ying did not cry when she was beaten, but when her body was held down and the candy was taken away, she watched the candy fall into Ye Qing's mouth. She squatted down, curled up her small body, buried her head between her legs, and burst into tears.
She was so useless that she couldn't even keep the candy that Sister Mu gave her.
Sister Mu will definitely dislike her and stop liking her!
Mu Yu didn't know all this, she just continued to work forward.
Just after visiting the pigpen and about to leave, Mu Yu suddenly heard a strange sound.
